Hi,

I would like to write a reader for *.gro files, but I couldn't find any
information about how to map the atomname to the atomic number. Can
anyone shed some light on this problem? I would be most grateful.

It's an ill-defined problem... is "HG" mercury or some kind of hydrogen? "CD" a delta-carbon or cadmium? It's better-defined if you can assume some kind of convention about atom naming, e.g. the PDB one, or the NMR one, etc.

It's much easier to avoid re-inventing the wheel. People may have some suggestions if you let us know why you want to write a .gro reader that needs to assign atomic numbers.

This has been implemented for pdb files. For gro files this is useless.
